Xzibit is amazing.

He's been dealt such a duff card in rap history. People ultimately just remember him for 'Pimp My Ride' and "X". Not serious rap fans but, the general listener.

When, his first two albums are pure top to bottom classic. And have some of the greatest hip-hop songs of all-time on them. He's a stellar lyricist.


i have 3 of his albums ,Restless/M.vs.M/WOMD , fucking amazing
Alkaholik is an amazing song , any one who's new to Xzibit should listen to this
other favorite songs : Enemies , Losin' Yo Mind , Muthafucka , Say My Name , Front 2 Back , Hurt Locker

but his best song IMO is Multiply ft. Nate Dogg :y:


You haven't heard his first two? You should really check them out.

They're absolute classics.

He has quite a few bullshit tracks, and that's probably the reason people just dismiss him as a lyricist.
T.I. is so fucking talented... He just needs to get his shit together and make a "serious" album.

He has amazing songs on every album, even I'm Serious had "Still Ain't Forgave Myself".
I'm 100 % sure he can make a classic album if he focuses on it hard enough.
